I've seen several customer with similar problems. There are two versions (32/64-bit) and only one is present on the system. I fixed this for the customer by extracting elfutils-libelf-0.94-1.i386.rpm using rpm2cpio on a separate system (as rpm2cpio requires this library to run) then extracting the resulting cpio back onto the system, and finally using rpm to install elfutils-libelf-0.94-1.i386.rpm (so the rpm database matches reality). Then up2date will begin working again.
